Recipe Book Gift Idea

Hello friends... happy Thursday, YAY! It is almost weekend again. Whilst chatting to my friend last night, I was telling her about this gift I had made for my other friend Deidré for Christmas and she said that I need to post a pic on my blog... so here it is... a very simple gift idea for you to make for someone who loves baking, cooking, etc.

All I did was purchase a red spiral-bound book and covered it with red and white checked paper which was downloaded from the internet.

For the blackboard, I covered a frame with brown paper and placed a piece of black cardstock behind it for the actual "board". I wrote on it with a white gel pen.

From the Magnolia Yummy for your Tummy range, I coloured the lovely Edwin and Tilda with my Copics and using sticky foam tape mounted them onto the blackboard. The other little pics I cut out from wrapping paper, matted onto a thicker board and using same foam sticky tape, mounted them all over the book.

I then took one of those plastic white spoons you get when you buy yoghurt and coloured that in red with my Copic pen

A bow, "hand made" charm and computer generated sentiment was added for completion

Hello dear Sharon ! What a brilliant idea ! I love making little books too, they are always appreciated... I love the way you have decorated yours, it is so so sweet ! Have a lovely day my dear friend, I am off to ironing !!! Lots of hugs and smiles from Catherine
